was a single by John Vukovich, a .100 hitter
coming into the game, which drove in a run to
put Philadelphia on top, 1-0.
Whereupon Seaver, author
of the only no-hitter in the
majors this year, resumed his
regularly scheduled program-
ming.
Over the final 7 1/3 in-
nings, Tom Terrific allowed
Tom Seaver
no runs and one hit as the
National League East-leading Mets rebounded
to edge third-place Philadelphia, 2-1.
Seaver (10-4) turned in his fourth consecu-
tive complete-game victory. He is tied for the
N.L. lead in wins, and leads in strikeouts (146)
and ERA (1.56). He is limiting opposing batters
to a .180 average, also a league best.
But after 3 innings Saturday, he trailed 1-0.
Art Shamsky tied the game with a solo home
run in the bottom of the fourth. Seaver himself
singled home batterymate Jerry Grote in the
fifth for the decisive run.
Philly starter Rick Wise allowed two runs on
four hits in six innings and fell to 4-6.
Padres 4, Giants 2
SAN FRANCISCO The punchless Padres,
combined a bare-bones offense with the mound
artistry of Clay Kirby to top the Giants.
The Friars, the worst-hitting team in the ma-
jors, were held to two hits the ninth time
they have totaled four hits or less this season.
San Diego struck early, as leadoff Enzo Her-
nandez reached base when Willie Mays flubbed
a fly ball and was charged with an error. Her-
nandez stole second, went to third on a fly out
and scored on a ground out.
The Pads parlayed two walks, a single and a
run-scoring fielders choice into two runs in the
second inning. Their second hit came in the
ninth on a solo homer by Ollie Brown.
Kirby (6-4) fashioned a four-hitter with eight
strikeouts. The complete game was his fourth.
Giants starter Gaylord Perry (7-6) went eight
frames, allowing one hit and fanning seven.
The most recent team to win a game with
two or fewer hits was the Senators last July.
The last time the Giants lost when holding a
team to two hits or fewer was in 1950.

me in the backyard and taught
me baseball, Bill said. He
wanted to make his dream
come true through me.
He showed me how to
charge a ball. I remember he
always told me to have soft
hands when going after a ball
instead of fighting it. He spent
hours with me, patiently teach-
ing me the rudiments.
Bill was 19 when he became
the regular Pirate second base-
man in 1956. He has played in
only a few games this season
because Dave Cash is being
groomed as his successor.
Lew Mazeroski died in Janu-
ary 1960, months before his
son helped the Pirates win their
first world championship in 35
years with a ninth-inning
homer off Yankee pitcher
Ralph Terry in the seventh
game of the World Series.
Rookie catcher Milt May is
the son of Pinky May, now a
minor league manager who had
formerly played with the Phil-
lies.
Dad started me out as a
small boy, but he never pushed
me into the game, Milt said. I
just loved baseball. I was the
bat boy for the various minor
league teams he managed. I
started off as a third baseman,
but Dad advised me to switch
to catching. He said there were
not too many good catchers
around and it was a quicker
way to get to the majors.
Pop Tested Arm
When I played for Gastonia
in the Carolina League in 1969,
I hit best against the Monroe
Indians the team Dad man-
aged. I hit more homers against
team. Dad used to tell his
players to run against me. I
guess that was his way of test-
ing me behind the plate.
Southpaw Bob Veale, who
is closing in on the Pirate
strikeout record of 1,682 set
by Bob Friend, said he learned
much about pitching from
watching his father.
Bob Veale Sr., a right-
hander, was with the Home-
stead (Pa.) Grays, one of the
countrys top black teams,
about 30 years ago.
When we lived in Mont-
gomery, Ala., Veale said,
Dad used to take me out
alongside the house and play
catch. He never insisted I play.
He believed in letting his chil-
dren make their own choice in
life we even choose our
own religion.
Pitching came naturally to
me. I could control the ball
well enough then, but I didnt
have that much control over
my temper. My Dad told me
temper control was as im-
portant as ball control. I
learned to control both.
Nelson Versatile
Jim Nelson, called up from
the minors last year, started
out as a shortstop and
switched to catching when he
played in the Babe Ruth
League in California.
When he was in high school
he was converted into a pitch-
er, a position his father played
while a member of the St.
Louis Cardinals organization.
Frank Nelson was a 25-
game winner one year when
he pitched for Spokane in the
Pacific Coast League three
decades ago.
